Indonesia, Sulawesi Toraja

Maple, dark chocolate, almond.

Indonesia's wet-hulled process, Giling Basah, hulls the beans while they are still wet and dries them twice. The result is low acidity, heavy body, and the earthy, spicy character people either love or argue about. Methodical leans into it.

The coffee comes from the Mandiri Kopi mill, a 1,400-member group founded in 2011 that trains farmers, promotes organic fertilizer, and pays fair prices. Typica grown at 1,600 meters in Toraja. A full, syrupy cup for anyone who finds light roasts thin.
